Senior🎓
Top SchoolScott Carlson is a software developer with a decade of engineering experience and 15+ years working at the intersection of software, metadata, and academic libraries. He builds practical APIs and internal tools—recently contributing to event-driven microservices and ETL pipelines at Cloudrise and streamlining monitoring and data-enrichment workflows at Arizona State University. Comfortable across Python, Flask, serverless AWS, and data-cleaning stacks (Pandas, OpenRefine), he specializes in making complex back-end systems accessible to non-developers. His background in library science and digital stewardship informs a disciplined approach to metadata modeling, integrations (Ex Libris Alma/Primo), and archival packaging. Based in Marysville, WA, Scott blends production-grade engineering with domain expertise in institutional repositories and has a knack for reducing runtimes and operational friction. A creative tinkerer off-hours—his GitHub bio hints at a playful, service-oriented mindset that complements his technical rigor.
